Joey has clearly regressed in the last couple of days, and it is very upsetting, especially to Anne.  We cannot explain it but he has gone back to over-reacting and to whining like a 4yr old at times.  We are pulling our hair out.  He has an audition for the school musical this afternoon.  Hopefully that will go well and he will get the part of the Malicious Cat.

Part of Joey's problem is that he will not listen to advice or to accept help when it is needed and offered.     So when he reads out a line from memory and I correct it because it is slightly worn, he gets upset and say's that nobody will know when they do the play.  I point out that he is learning it for the audition and that the teachers will be better impressed if he has learned his lines properly.   He does not take the advice well.
